1998 Chevrolet Z71 Brakes Problems

“Consumer complained about a brake problem. While driving on highway brakes were slow to stop vehicle. When driving around town brakes worked fine. Also, windshield wipers operated poorly, power steering worked intermittently.”

“Abs system is not working properly, there was extended stopping distance. On other days, the vehicle will work fine. Contacted dealer who was not willing to do anything. Consumer had vehicle checked, the computer read nothing. When slowing/stopping at 5-7 MPH, the pedal drops about 2 inches and one can hear and feel the anti lock kick in if you press hard. (brake problem occurs everyday)”

“Abs system is not working properly, ABS system has gone completely out, and a loud noise comes from that area. Contacted dealer and the dealer is not willing to do anything. The vehicle is in need of new rear brake rotors. The ABS module is inoperative. Chevrolet refuses to replace.”

“Consumer states the anti-lock brake controller has failed, resulting in complete loss of anti-lock brake function. Consumer contacted dealer and manfacturer who advised failure of component is a known problem, but not covered under vehicle's warranty. Ts”

“Consumer's son while driving at 5mph and applying the brakes, pedal went down to the floor, and vehicle was at the wall of the building. Independent repair shop didn't find anything wrong with the brakes. Modelz71. Year 1999.”
